[Copy/Paste] Child objects pasted in wrong place

[Phillipus]

I've improved Copy & Paste of diagram objects but there's still a problem to be fixed.

If child objects (nested) are selected and copied they are pasted at co-ordinates relative to the diagram, not the parent object.

See com.archimatetool.editor.diagram.actions.CopySnapshot class:

private void calculateXYOffset(Point mousePosition) {
        // No mouse click, so increment position by 10,10
        // FIXME: If selected objects are child objects then the offset is relative to the diagram, not the parent objects
        if(mousePosition == null) {
            fXOffSet += 10;
            fYOffSet += 10;
            return;
        }

Anyone like to take a look at this. I'm stumped.

Hi Phil,

Don't know if I will find time (my repository plugin makes me very busy) but I should have a look this week.

This makes me think about another issue (don't know if it's still there with the changes you've done): when copy/past nested elements, the relation that exists between parent and child is not kept. I guess this is because there's no relation object shown on the diagram.

Regards

JB

Opened Issue #26 for this.
